Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 : I haven't had a blood transfusion, but doctor is talking about it right now. Blood counts seem to be on a steady decline, even with my vitamins and iron from . (I'm taking everything religously, honest!!!) Trying to hold off for a little while longer and asked if they could do the IV iron first before getting so drastic with the transfusion. My hemoglobin as of yesterday was 9.3. Had an endoscopy in June and was found to have ulcers and gastritis and a hiatal hernia. Taking Nexium twice a day and Librax twice a day and will be rescoped within the next two weeks to check for ulcer healing. If they don't find anything there, then will have to have a colonoscopy. No big deal, due for one in February anyway. (strong family history of colon cancer) this will be my fourth one and I'm only 39. Want to get this done as I'm staring school next Wednesday and would like to be alert enough to learn something. Hope you're feeling better and they find out what's causing your low levels.
